ITEM 3.02:  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
---------------------------------------------------

         Effective as of April 11, 2012, the Company issued a total of 3,200,000
shares of common stock to investors in its private placement,  receiving a total
of $800,000 of capital for such issuances.  As previously reported,  the Company
is currently making a private  placement of up to 8,000,000 shares of its common
stock for a subscription  price of $0.25 per share,  of which  3,200,000  shares
have been sold as of the date of this  Report.  Further,  the Company has issued
100,000  shares of its  common  stock to a holder of a note  payable  as partial
conversion in the amount of $33,000 of the outstanding  balance of such note. No
other  consideration  was  received  by the Company in these  transactions.  The
Company's  total  shares  outstanding  after  the  issuance  of these  shares is
56,353,323.

         This notice does not constitute an offer to sell or a  solicitation  to
buy a security.  Any offer to sell or a solicitation  to buy a security from the
Company  is made  only to  prospective  investors  with whom the  Company  has a
pre-existing  relationship  and  only  by the  complete  Executive  Summary  and
exhibits thereto, dated March 22, 2012 (the "Memorandum") covering the Company's
common stock in the private  placement,  including the risk factors described in
the Memorandum.

         The securities offered in the Company's private placement have not been
registered  under the Act or any state securities laws. No shares may be resold,
assigned or otherwise transferred unless a registration  statement under the Act
is in effect, or the Company has received evidence  satisfactory to it that such
transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration under the Act and
is in compliance with the Act.

                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended,  the  Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
